Because your statement is that the present condition is not due to representative democracy. According to you, its dead. How does a dead thing do anything? You posit a cause for the death of representative democracy, global capitalist colonialism, that doomed it from the start. Representative democ...

Hi. I'm just looking for some advice. I am more than halfway through my Vajrasattva practice (as part of my Ngondro practice) and I find that I'm struggling with what appears to be an increase in disturbing emotions, anger in particular. Is this a normal occurrence during the Vajrasattva purificati...

But I don't get the credit for imaginatively trying to take action? I'm just a sellout committed to the TrumpClinton merry go round? Because I cast doubt on your participatory democracy dream? No, because you said: Representative democracy is a practical solution. Because you fail to acknowledge th...

So now you are saying I am not grown up because I can envisage a reality outside of the narrow confines of the existing ...

There's no time for dreaming. Especially dreams of rabbits with horns. In which case your choice is to keep living your nightmare. Sorry, but I think I will pass on your (fatally flawed) plan. In Greece we say: When you screw an old lady, all you do is waste your sperm. Bang away my man, bang away...
